Mayor concerned Fed Govt 'won't fulfil election promise'

Thuringowa mayor Les Tyrell believes he has information that the Federal Government has reneged on a $6 million election promise at Riverway.

Councillor Tyrell says his sources tell him that all the election promises are now being sifted with a fine tooth comb and is concerned the $6 million promised for the Riverway hub development is gone.

Councillor Tyrell says the project to upgrade the Upper Ross shopping precinct will stall without the funding.

"People these days just making promises and having no intention of carrying them out," he said.

"I don't work that way and make as many promises as others, and they won't be irresponsible promises."
